We stayed at the Deauville for 2 nights in March 2005. The Deauville has a marvelous location. Right on the Malecon (Havana's sea promenade) it is a perfect location as you are in a walking distance of Old Havana. From our room we had a marvelous view of the promenade and the sea. Of course, the Deauville has it's defects. The shower head acted funny (the water jet was actually horizontal) and when we took a shower the whole room's floor would get wet, the water getting out of the shower, and out of the bathroom in the room.
The beds were way too soft, I was actually sinking in them. Cleaning service is ok. Be prepared, breakfast is discusting.
The Deauville is a great hotel in Havana. It's perfect location compenses the fact the accomodations are somehow problematic. Since we had the flexi fly and drive program, we paid 1000$ (CAN) for a week with a car rental included. This made the Hotel Deauville a great deal in Havana.

Hello, I visited Havana last march with some friends, we stayed at Deauville Hotel

This is the ideal hotel if you want to visit the city, wake up in the morning and that the Malecon be your first sight, and to meet wonderful people. Because the hotel's service make you feel as if you were at home

You can't beat the price. Close to everything. Safe area.Lots of things to visit within walking distance. Pool, bar, restaurant, nightclub.
Service at pool restaurant is slow, but acceptable....Clean and quiet room. Cuba is now extremely economical and great weather !
I stayed at this hotel the last 3 times and have no complaints.
Price is great for Canadians, staff try hard to be helpful.What more can you ask for, really ?

I loved this place, the truth is we have stayed at this hotel each of the three times we have been to Cuba, and we love it! Although it needs some repairs, the staff is really amazing and the experience is unforgettable.
I highly recommend it.

Been to Havana about 6-7 times over past 3 years. The first time, I booked the Deauville as a " first night" reservation. It was unbelievable for the price. ( but be careful...it seems to fluctuate a lot ) I was last there in June 09. The pool was not open and the elevators were sporadic, but other renovations were complete. The hotel is clean, quiet, and safe-- for all ages. You need not worry about staying here it. Staff are helpful and multi-lingual. I will be going back in a month or two, but I hope the pool ( with bar and cafe) is open by then...
